DD101 Introducing the Social Sciences - TMA05 Marked and Returned

Best mark yet, which I am very pleased about, but to be fair this TMA played to my existing strengths as I am used to writing reports and am frequently involved in risk assessments.

Anyway, on to TMA 06, although I have read on the Facebook group that some people are skipping TMA06 as their scores are high enough to allow them to do this. I think this is a mistake, partly because there may be something relevant to TMA07 (the final and externally marked TMA) in the work for TMA06 so you will have to read the chapters anyway, and also because both TMA 06 &07 are based on the question "evaluate the claim", so TMA 06 is a great trial run at answering this type of question.

TMA06
A. Evaluate the claim that Britishness is a matter of ‘shared values, ideas or ways of life’.
 or
 B. Evaluate the claim that conflict is a catalyst for identity change.


TMA 07
A. Critically assess the claim that states are necessary evils.

or

B. ‘Jill’s story tells you all you need to know about the state.’ Explain and evaluate this claim.

TMA06 is due the middle of August, so 3 weeks to sort it out.
